JimPack

Scrolling down on your Facebook news feed is probably going to imprint a lot of images on your retina. However, more than half of them undergo even the slightest cleaning and adjustments. Luckily, you can do this too from the comfort of your desktop, and applications are abundant, with JimPack being just one of them.

The setup process takes only a little of your time and before you know it, the application is good to go. On the visual side of things, the main window sports a custom layout, with no classic elements, and accommodation is not affected by this whatsoever. All elements you get to work with are in plain sight, and are also quite intuitive.

Since you get to work with pictures, sooner or later you need to add them. You’re not limited to a single one, because the application supports batch processing. To load pictures, you can simply drag them over the main window, or rely on the browse dialog. Supported formats are JPG, JFIF, and BMP, which leaves a bit more to be desired.

All pictures you load are enlisted in a large area along with the file name, path, and a large thumbnail for preview. There’s no need to arrange them, but you do have to individually manage them, because there’s no option to apply one effect your entire selection of pictures.

The list of operations you can’t perform is not abundant, and only serves for basic management. Resizing is the first area, with possibilities to either reduce the resolution to half or quarter, or double it.

Several effects are found next, but with no configurations at your disposal. As such, you can only choose whether or not to apply gamma, sharpness, reduce yellow, saturation, or noise reduction. Here you have the possibility to pick more than one choice.

Last but not least come output quality options. Sadly, these too only come in the form of a simple choice, with no other settings, not even JPG quality. Apart from converting to either JPG or BMP, the application can also automatically clean any imperfections.

On an ending note, JimPack is not the professional’s choice when it comes to photo editing. It’s not packed with an advanced set of feature, or any management options other than a few choices, for that matter. It works fine, with practicality limited to applying a quick fix, change size specifications, or convert to a different format.
